SUGGESTJONS FOR 



EXTERIOR DECORATION 



"THESE combinations of samples of our Liquid Paints are 
given as suggestions of proper harmony or contrast 
and are painted with our Paints as actually supplied to 
customers. As all colors are affected by sunlight they 
should be exposed a few hours to the light to perfect the 
shades. 

Of course many other desirable combinations may be 
made with the various shades and tints shown on our Sample 
Sheets. Those desiring special or more elaborate combina- 
tions may obtain them free, from any of our offices, or from 
dealers in our Paints, upon indicating the colors they wish 
to use. When desired, we shall be pleased to give our 
customers the benefit of our experience in selecting for their 
dwellings appropriate combinations of colors. 

H. W. JOHNS M'F'Q CO. 



SUGGESTIONS IN REGARD TO DESIRABLE 
SHADES AND TRIMMINGS. 

For dwellings in elevated or exposed situations, our dark 
grays, drabs, olives and other dark colors are most desirable. 
For dwellings not so situated, or which are surrounded b}- 
shade trees, the yellows, reds, and light tints are preferable. 

When the ornamental work (mouldings, cornices, etc.) 
is heavy, i. e,, presents a large surface the lighter trimming 
shades should be used, but when light and graceful in design, 
the darker trimming shades are more effective. For window 
sashes, Dark, Bright or Pompeian Reds, Maroon, Bronze or 
Olive Green, Olive, etc., are generally used; and Browns or 
Dark Reds ma}' be used with good effect where warm yellows 
are used on buildings. 

The following combinations of our 1 iquid Paints are 
selected with a view to harmony. In making selection, due 
consideration must be given to style of architecture, sur- 
roundings, etc.

The yellows which are so extensively used on Colonial 
and other styles of houses, should be trimmed with our 
Outside White. For Blinds and Sash, use No. 62, Dark Green 



or Outside white. lu order to meet the demand for a more 
subdued combination than the ordinary Colonial Yellows and 
White, we are now supplying our customers with Ivory White, 
which, for trimmings and blinds, in combination with Nos. 
19. 33^ 89, 20, 22, 76, 81, 92, 44, 35 or 25, produces a very soft 
and harmonious effect. With these combinations Ivory 
White or No. 62, Dk. Green may be used for sash and blinds. 

Body colors of light greys and other neutral tints may 
also be trimmed with White or Ivory White, using same 
color for blinds and sash. 

When two colors are used on large, plain surfaces, a 
dividing line of some contrasting color should be drawn 
between them, unless the first story body color is of some 
strong, rich shade, as No. 60, 53, etc. Usually in such cases, 
the first story body color is used for trimmings on second 
story, no trimming color being necessar}^ on first story. 

Our Standard Green may be advantageously used for 
blinds with White or the following body colors : No. 44, 45, 
33, 19 and 35. 

A perfect representation of brown stone and Nova Scotia 
stone may be produced by sanding Nos. 34 and 19 respectively. 

The prevailing taste for certain styles of architecture 
demands the use of shingles, either wholly or in part, and 
for this work we recommend the use of our Shingle Stains. 
These are made from the purest pigments and the best wood 
preservative known . While the treatment of shingle staining 
is more simple than painted work, fewer and less vivid colors 
being used, there is great necessity of experienced judg- 
ment, as in addition to harmony of color, the element of effect 
is largely to be considered. Almost all work of this kind 
should be specially treated, and to those wishing suggestions 
we shall be glad to lend every assistance upon receipt of 
photograph or full description of buildings and surroundings. 
We have aimed to produce with our Shingle stains, many 
desirable tones of silver gray, moss green, and other weather 
stained effects.

AS the cost of applying paint will average twice the cost 

of the material, it is of great importance that the paint 
employed should be of the best possible quality, as the 
trifling additional outlay for material will be many times 
repaid by the superior durability and satisfactory appear- 
ance of a first-class article. 

Ours are the only prepared or liquid paints which, in 
addition to the usual grinding and mixing, are ground while 
in liquid state. 

This second grinding brings the oil and pigments into 
more intimate combination, and gives a uniformity of con- 
sistence not to be obtained by mere mixings. 

Strictly first-class paints are more economical to the user 
and more desirable for the dealer, and we shall continue to 
spare no pains or expense to insure for our Paints the 
reputation they have long held, as 

"THE STANDARD PAINTS FOR STRUCTURAL PURPOSES." 

We will be pleased to forward by mail, on application, 
samples of 56 newest shades and colors, wnth instructions for 
using, price list, etc.
